This year it seems as though we have a lot of teachers to whom a great deal of credit is due, but we of the Class of 1954 feel this true of one teacher in particular. She deserves a great deal of credit and admiration for her fine work and for the feeling of genuine sympathy and inter- est which she shows to each individual student. All of us who have had her for a teacher have appreciated her humor, her helpfulness, and her willingness to give special attention to those who needed extra help. She never failed to give us all due consideration and our praise when she could and when we deserved it. Taking all problems and trials in stride, she came to school each day with- out complaint-an example of Christian fortitude. She remained cheerful and did not let her moods interfere with her graciousness toward her students. Add to this a person who is willing to advise you and counsel you if you desire it, and you have the wonderful person to whom we, the Class of 1954, wish to dedicate this year's LOG. It is, therefore, with a great deal of respect, admiration, and appreciation for the wonderful work she has done for us in our years here at Luther that we dedicate this LOG of 1954 to Mrs. Agnes Braham. Gqcfminisfzafion LOUIS A. MENKING Assistant Principal LOIS HALVORSEN Registrar CARL S. MEYER Principal The open door of opportunity seems to invite you as you close the doors of your high school careers behind you. Through that door you can go with optimism, faith, and courage. It is a door of hope. You will not go through that door alone, but with Him who calls Himself the door. Because you can go on with Him, you can go through that door into the unknown future with a full measure of confidence. You will perhaps enter many doors that have little significance. You .will constantly look for the door to bigger things. Perhaps you will never find that door, perhaps if you do, it will not seem to have much meaning. Do not, how- ever, neglect the doors of God's house, it is good to be a doorkeeper there. You will find in those doors the doors to really bigger and better things. ln a beautiful passage in the final book of the Bible the Savior portrays Himself as standing at the door, He says, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me. There could be no more gracious invitation nor a better companion. Our best wishes go with you, the Class of 1954, the first graduates of Luther High School North. ROBERT F.

Despite unfavorable conditions during the first three years, the class, although one of the smallest in recent years, showed considerable school spirit in athletic and social functions. Finally, in our Senior year with the completion of our beautiful new school the class has had an opportunity to show outstand- ing leadership in promoting and maintaining a Christian environment. Yet we humbly acknowledge that all this would have been impossible without the guiding hand of God. To the faculty, student body, and loyal friends go the sincere thanks of the Class of 1954. dfdii JCJSQZ75, Song: Oh That The Lord Would Guide My Ways Motto: The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?

They have had the initia- tive to accept the many tasks that fall to them, such as the annual play and sponsoring the Junior- Senior Banquet. The iuniors have shown that they possess the ability to successfully accomplish these responsibilities. Looking ahead, they will have to edit the school's two publica- tions: and drawing upon their theatrical experience gained in giving the Junior Class play, spon- sor a similar project in the spring. As the new leaders of the stu- dent body, we feel certain that the graduates of '55 will not only overcome their everincreasing obli- gations, but will provide a Chris- tian example 'For all to follow.

Great responsibilities lie before the new junior class. The many difficulties involved in giving the Junior-Senior Banquet will have to be met and overcome. Production of the annual Junior Class play is another major task that will require the complete support of the entire class. However, with the accomplishment of such tasks as giving a freshman party and publishing a student directory they have shown that they are capable of fulfilling the requirements of upper-classmen. 28 Row 'I: Lloyd Andersen, Marilyn Anderson, William Anderson, Verna Ballert, Corinne Ballo, Larry Barnes, Joyce Bauer, Charlene Beggs, Alyce Behnke, Dorothy Belle, Edwin Berg, John Bernhardt.

This, how- ever, explains only the first few days of their high school life. As the time went by, they took an active interest in extracurricular activities. The turnouts for tryouts on Frosh-Soph teams as well as their attendance at games gives evidence of the classes participa- tion in school activities. This year's freshie class has become a part of our family of students-a part we can't afford to overlook. We wish them God's choicest blessings and hope that their stay at Luther will be a memorable one. 31 Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Row 'lz Eunice Ebert, Arnold Eckert, Judy Eheim, Charles Ellingson, Elsie Erbes, Marilyn Ernst, Robert Fetzner, Burneal Fick, Georgene Fick, Art Filip, Diane Flammang, Darlene Forsell, Harold Fox, Mari-Virginia Freitag, Henry Fricke. 2: Alvin Frost, James Gahl, Richard Gahl, Flora Gaynor, Robert Gielow, Janice Giff, Marlene Gnosch, Donald Gost, Rita Grethe, Arthur Grundke, Barbara Haag, Joan Haertel, Roy Halvorsen, Norman Hanan, Bob Hannaman. 3: Lydia Hartmann, Carol Hasse, Harold Hasselman, Joan Hasten, James Heidorn, Brenda Heinz, Cathy Hemmeter, Jack Herklotz, Maureen Hinkel, Harvey Hirsch, Diane Hoffman, Jack Holecek, Lois Holmblad, Margaret Huhnke, Lloyd Hutter. 4: LaVerne lannello, Harold Jabitke, Wilma Jany, Kenneth Jeschke, Lois Jessen, Robert Johnson, Truman Johnson, Delores Johnston, Norma Kaiser, George Kaub, Norman Kemnitz, Karl Kettlehut, Andres Kirstien, Ruth Kleiner, Alan Kluender. 5: Phyllis Knueppel, Joanne Kobage, Cathy Koepple, Roger Krause, Pat Krenske, Peder Kringstad, Allen Krueger, Diane Kuchnenbecker, Carole Kurtz, Earl Kusch, Ann Marie Larssen, Mary Lindberg, Jucly Loshbaugh, Judy Luessow, Robert Luker. 6: Erna Lutz, Sharon Mahler, Carol Mahnke, Paula Maisel, Theo Mannon, Audrey Mansk, Janice Mason, Ronald Matthes, Judy Merrill, Norma Meyer, Vaughan Michaelson, Kenneth Miner, Robert Mitchell, Joyce Mitzner, Kent Moldenhauer. 7: Robert Moll, Karen Moore, Manfred Mueller, Thomas Mueller, Raymond Nadenik, David Nasby, Robert Nelson, William Neubeck, Jerry Nickel, Charlotte Oemig, Jacqueline Ohlicker, Christine Ohm, Nancy Oman, Betty Lou Oster, Valerie Pattison. 8: Joan Pittelka, Joan Pletz, Judy Poellot, Lois Post, Edward Prinz, Nancy Proctor, Martin Puris, Margaret Quoos, Kenneth Ranyan, Leroy Regner, Frank Reiss, Charles Rhodes, Twyla Riehle, Thomas Rode, Kenneth Rodeck. 9: Edwin Rohde, Otto Roller, Edith Schaden, Hansi Schatfler, Philip Scheel, Sandra Schiemann, Maureen Schinkel, Duane Schmid, Heide Schmidt, Donald Schneider, Randy Schoenegge, Robert Scholz, Richard Schukat, Fred Schreyer, Robert Scoggins. 10: Richard Sellke, Robert Shadduck, Lois Shimkus, Barbara Sim, Joseph Simonides, Albert Simonsen, Carol Skinner, Sue Spletzer, Shirley Steigerwald, Ronald Steigerwaldt, Walter Stephen, Jack Strand, James Sundeen, Lenard Swenson, Roger Taylor. 1- ' ' ,V .

Kurt Grams, Adviser Enid Esterly, Editor-in-Chief Beth Schmidtke, Assistant Editor Florence Moeller, News Editor Charles Downs, Feature Editor Hollis Duensing, Co-sports Editor Don Lohrentz, Co-sports Editor Under the very able direction of editor Enid Esterly, the 1953-54 BLUE AND GOLD ranked with the best ever printed, and certainly was a credit to our new school. One of the new firsts inaugurated this year was the new banner, picture of our building. Congratulations are in order to the staff for their fine coverage, both written and pictorial, of the events at school during the year and especially of the Christmas Pageant. The Publications Room was a scene of almost constant activity and it was a rare sight indeed to see it unoccupied. Either Enid or Beth Schmidtke, assistant editor, were usually on hand to see that all was in order and functioning properly. It was a good bet that co-editors Hollis Duensing and Don Lohrentz were spending their study periods pound- ing the typewriter keys Cvia the hunt-and-peck systeml pre- paring their sports editorials for Betty Jane Kroll to proof- read. Hildegard Chaveriat spent many long hours patiently typing articles on the vari-typer, after which Jackie Wage- mann and Duane Johnson would set up the paper on a dummy. The staff members will also fondly remember the Publications Room for the weekly Wednesday morning meet- ings with Mr. A. Kurt Grams, faculty adviser. Not all the activity took place in this room, however. lt was a familiar sight to see Charles Downs rushing madly down the hall in pursuit of one of his proteges harboring a tardy feature article. Photographers Bill Oesterreich and Rich Luebbing were present at as many athletic contests as possible recording some of the action as visual material for the paper. As business manager, Carolyn Joseph and her assistant Ruth Diehl did a lot of footwork getting advertisers besides seeing to it that the paper remained in the black. The picture would not be complete without mentioning the seldom noticed behind-the-scenes guidance and assistance offered by the faculty advisers. These included, in addition to Mr. Grams, Mr. Lange, Mrs. Karzel, and Mrs. Storbeck. It is to the faculty advisers and particularly to the staff that the student body of Luther wishes to express its sincere thanks and appreciation for the excellent type of journalism produced. We wish the staff of 1954-1955 the best of luck in preserving the fine reputation which the BLUE AND BOLD has earned. NEWS STAFF Barbara Schukat, Mrs. B.

The modern and larger facilities gave Miss L. Robbert, the librarian, a chance to purchase new books and magazines. But, along with the new library came more work. All study tables had to be cleared of books after each period. Returned and new books had to be placed neat and straight in their proper position on the shelf. Then too, new books had to be prepared for use and old books had to be mended. All of these, and many other jobs were the responsibility of the library assistants. The people who volunteered to be an assistant did not volunteer for any easy job, but rather one that required much work and time. By volunteering the student gave up their study halls for library work. Although the Library Club has just completed its first year of exist- ence, it has applied a great deal of effort toward the promotion of reading. One of the club's projects was to artistically decorate the display case found in the second floor hallway. During the entire year the mem- bers changed and rechanged the scenes, always adding new ideas which pointed out the enjoyment and value of reading. Another one of the club's projects was to bring books to the patients of Walther Memorial Hospital. Different members volunteered to bring the books to the hospital, and at the same time serve as librarian. The officers Sandra Salzman, president, David Moeller, vice-presi- dent, Paula Evers, secretary, Carol Meyer, treasurer, headed the club's activity for the year. Under the leadership of Miss Robbert, this past year has proved to be a very good beginning for a club that promises to grow in the years to come. Row 'lz Virginia Siek, Diana Cole, Miss L.

Headed by Hollis Duensing, president, and David Stuckmeyer, vice-president, the council has taken great steps in handling the year's problems. Although the student body gained about 150 additional members, and had its sur- roundings changed, the Student Council has adapted itself readily to the new environment. The Student Council consists of nineteen members: six seniors, three juniors, four sophomores, and six freshmen. This added increase is due to the more democratic system of home- room representation. This plan was carried out by having an election in those homerooms which had none of the eleven members elected the year before. Some of the major tasks which present themselves were: homecoming festivities, a system of hallguards, a set of regula- tions in case of fire, pep meetings, homeroom representation, and civic letter awards. Many a heated discussion arose over how to gain better attention in chapel, or how to keep the desk tops from being marred, and other similar questions. But with the help of the faculty adviser, Mr. H. Treichel, a number of these problems were successfully solved. This year the fourth annual Lutheran high school student council conference was held in Houston, Texas. Our delegation, the president and vice-president, were flown clown to attend this important meeting. We hope that the succeeding Student Councils will live up to their name and will prove time and again their vital position in the school. Ol-F icers Af Work Row 'l: Joyce Bierer, Ronald Vahl, Mr. A.

These are, first of all, to increase in the knowledge of science, secondly, to learn to perfect skills in science through experiment, thirdly, to understand the importance of science in daily life, and fourthly to help promote the Science Clubs of America. The many strange and sometimes unpleasant odors that come forth from room T02 prove that there is some activity going on inside. ln this room the twenty-five members of the club delve into the unknown and investigate that part of science which most appeals to them. Every Wednesday night after school under the able guidance of Mr. A. J. Tarnoski, they go through the formalities of the business meeting, and then adiourn for some worthwhile experiment or movie. The movies have been a great help to the members and have dealt with a large variety of subiects in- cluding electricity, sound, heat, and light. Experiments are probably the most popular event of the Science Club meeting, for they offer a chance for every member to participate and ask questions. Some of these experiments are presented to the public on club assembly day and open house night. But besides this there were numerous projects that the members of the club worked on individually and in groups. One of these that is particularly outstanding is the weather station that has been established at Luther. Daily, such facts as the temperature, precipitation, and humidity were taken and posted on a chart that is found in the hall. The officers for the 1953-54 year were Richard Hagen, president, Richard Scholz, vice-president, Ronald Vahl, secretary, and Juanita Seick, treasurer. Courtesy of General Window Cleaning Co.

The members go bowling every Thursday. One ot the most -- popular events of the year is the bowling meet between the faculty B X gi. and the members of the club. This club is certainly becoming popular at Luther, and we wish it continued success in the future. azamici CBJ? The most surprising club at Luther this year was the Ceramics Club. Just organized this year by Mr. E. A. Lange, they have become very active and creative in a remarkably short time, Another amaz- ing thing about this group is that they are self- supporting without collecting any dues. The club meets twice a week, but members are required to attend only one meeting weekly. Start- ing ott with simple pottery work, the members soon turned out excellent work which they intend to put up for sale in the spring. The proceeds from this are to repay the school for the kiln, which sees considerable service in 205. Another important activity being considered by the group is a field trip to witness the making of pottery on large scale at the plant of their supplier. All in all, the club and Mr. Lange are certainly to be congratulated. Jim, Mr. E. A.

The club met regularly, saw to it that our proiectors were kept in running order, and kept posted on the newer model machines that were on the market. Norbert Failing again presided over the group this year and Mr. Duensing acted as adviser. There are not many students who do not come into contact with one of these hallguards at one time or another during the year. Those familiar words of, Where's your pass? are heard time and again by most of us. But that is not their only iob. Without hallguards the office and teachers would have to run their own errands, and many visitors would lose time in finding their destination if it were not for the hallguards. Indeed, the halls would not look the same without a cheery hallguard at the end of it. Row 1: Joan Bollo, Ei- leen R e u h I , Diane Skinner, Jean Bueh- ring, Wanda Frees, Dolores Messerschmidt.

A social event was one of the highlights of the club's activities. The most important proiect, however, was the buying of a trophy case for the front hall of the school. The money for the trophy case was raised last year, and the case was purchased this year. We hope that the Letterman's Club will continue to keep up the good work, and will complete many more successful projects.

Under the capable direction of Mr. D. Taebel, the band began the year in a ioint appearance with the Drama Club in the presentation of Laughing Through Drama. Soon afterward it contributed to the Yuletide spirit by appearing at the Christmas pageant. However, their success was probably most widely witnessed at the basketball games. With a rendition of our school song and other popular marches, the band added greatly to the thrill and enioyment of the games, The new instruments purchased last fall and the considerably increased membership over former years were other factors that helped its quality and morale. , Truly the band is one of the organizations at Luther that is destined to grow both in number and in acclaim. 2 5 15'- M E -7 K A ,niiixg 5 PY liiffiefz Qfayezs Row 1: Jean Buehring, Ginny Seik, Sue Spletzer, Enid Esterly, Marilyn Wulf, Carol Meyer, Renata Bartling, Judy Wunsch.

The Luther Players, one ofthe largest and most active of the extra-curricular organiza- tions here at Luther, can look with pride at its accomplishments during the past year. Officially changing its name to Luther Players, the group started ott the year by bringing their existance and talents to the attention of the general public and student body. This was accomplished in the presentation of an evening variety program entitled Laughing Through Drama. Soon afterwards came the huge task of preparation for the Christmas pageant Christmas Carols and Customs the World Around. However, not all of the club's activities consisted of presentations. The big social event of the year was the Christmas party held tor the members after which the group went down to see The Philadelphia Story at the Goodman Theater. After the tirst of the year the director of the play lectured to them on the finer points ot acting. This, together with the vast experience of the club's adviser, Mrs. B. Karzel, acquired while acting on the professional stage, accounted for the theatrical knowledge gained by each individual member. The players deeply appreciate Mrs. Karzel giving ot her time and talents and we feel certain that even greater successes lie ahead for the club. Courtesy of Luther Players.

R. Mohrhardt. Instead of meeting once a month, as in previous years, the club met biweekly using half a class period. The obiectives are to learn more about the Spanish language and customs of South and Central America. This is done through the use of films and a Spanish newspaper. Officers of Spanish I were John Mohrhardt, Ruth Diehl, Lynda Gerber, and Judy Bonaker, presi- dent, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. Spanish ll was headed by president Art Schumacker, vice-president Richard Fick, and secretary- treasurer Pat Dopp. SPANISH ll Row 'lz Jim Johnson, Carol Schimels, Rev, Mohrhardt, sponsor, Beverly Aus-der-Au, Ruth Wiederholt.

Mohrhardt Luther's Latin Clubs this year were again revived. Constitutions were adopted and the club organized into separate divisions. Latin I although just learning to use the Roman language functioned well under President Glenn Herbst, Vice-president Phyllis Stuckmeyer, Secretary Ruth Witzmann, and Treasurer Ann Wetzel. Studiosi Linguam Caesaris CLatin Ill met on the first and third Wednesdays of the month during the regular class period. Heading the club were Lee Jany, president, Dave Stuckmeyer, vice-president, Judy Sellke, secretary, and Linda Boers, treasurer. A national Latin magazine, Auxilium Latinum , was used during the meetings. The publication told current events in the language of the Roman world.

C. has long been one of Luther's best liked and very well attended clubs. This year, however, it is doubly true. The G. A. C. is very ably led by their sponsor, Mrs. T. Leitz, and by its president, Marilyn Stetiien. The club sponsors some type of activity every month ofthe school year. Some of these activities were giving a Splash Party in November, a Sox Hop in February, a Welcome Party for the Freshmen in October. In addition to this the club attended the Globe Trotters game in January, and sponsored bowling in December. Swimming at Portage Park also comes up quite regularly on the club's agenda. The club makes a special effort to get everyone to come to our games. Special points are awarded for this. One of the most popular activities of the year is the trip to the Sand Dunes in June. This club is certainly doing a tine job in promoting school activities in sports and in parties, and we hope that the G. A. C. will continue its fine work among the student body.

Under the leadership of Rev. Clemens Thies, sponsor, and the olticers David Stuckmeyer, John Hermann, and Juanita Seick, the club was an active organization. Meetings which stressed business matters, movies, and lectures were held on the first and third Thursdays of the month. Dr. A. R. Kretzmann twice showed the club slides of his recent trip to Europe and the Middle East. The Chapel Committee, one of the two committees within the club, obtained guest speakers and student participation for the chapel exercises. Under their guidance a special Ash Wednesday medita- tion was observed and Mission Week revived. Members of the committee were Bonnie Craven, Charlotte Neber, Barbara Schukat, Lloyd Sponholtz, and Dorothea Wolf. The Program Committee, Dick Hagen, Marilyn Heuser, Howard Houren, Marlene Klepits, and Judy Sellke, laid out the routine of the club. lncluded in this year's activities was a trip to St. Louis where things of synodical interest were seen.

The Log meetings were perhaps the most interesting part of the work. They were conducted most informally, as can be attested by Editor Dave Kleiner's usual frantic appeal for order. Ronald Vahl and assistant Lloyd Spohnoltz's copy for lack of itj was a frequent topic of conversation. The Business Management Department, headed by Carolyn Joseph and assisted by Gerry Ahrendt, almost always managed to report that we were in the black. Art Editor Dave Stuckmeyer came up with some excellent suggestions as to the layout and design of the annual. The staFf wishes to thank Mr. A. Kurt Grams, Log adviser, for his patient guidance and assistance in the coordination of this yearbook. A. Kurt Grams, advisor Courtesy of: William C.

Headed this year by co-captains Hollis Duensing and Dick Dellinger the Wildcats managed to achieve a record of 4 wins, 3 losses, and one tie. Although hampered by injuries the team was able to stay well out in front of the .500 mark. Evidence of the fine players Coach Leitz and assistant Coach Yursky have produced is shown by the six men who made the P.S.L. all-star teams. They are Ralph Larson, Bill Schlegl, Hollis Duensing, Wally Pflug, Don Lohrentz, and Dick Dellinger. Larson, who is only a sophomore, managed to score 37 points in 'five games. Close behind him was Duensing with 30. This year also had its share of thrills. ln the Reformation Day game with Luther South a 63 yard Duensing to Larson pass accounted for our tirst touchdown and set the ball rolling. We went on to win 20 to 7. ln the Latin game a brilliant half-time comeback, after losing 'l3 to 0, made the game close, but not close enough. Still, in spite of the 'l9 to 'I3 setback it proved to be one of the year's best. Besides those mentioned before, others that helped the team considerably are Charles Kokaska, Dan Wallner, Rich Wille, Ted Selke, Bob Roth, Bob Sorenson, and Tom Reimann. Of course we cannot 'Forget the efficient and compentent graduating managers, Bob Johnson and Ron Sorenson. Congratulations are also in order to Dick Dell- inger, who was selected as the most valuable player on the team, and to Wallie Pflug and Ed Lichtenhagen who are co-captains for next year. unify Ted Leitz, Coach George Yursky, Assistant Coach Row 'la David Nasby, John Vonlehe, Don Schneider, Alvin Wilner.

The Frosh-Soph football team managed to build up a very impressive record this year. Headed by coach Bleclce they won three while losing only one and tying one. One of their most hard 'Fought games was against Luther South whom they de- feated 7-0. The all important touchdown was scored when Art Filip blocked a Luther South punt and Bill Clark picked it up and ran it down to the two yard line. Shortly after, Louis Sandow went 1016-Sapa Arthur Blecke, Coach Robert Berning, Assistant Coach through the middle for the score and Harvey Hirsch plunged over for the extra point. Later, in the last few minutes of the game, brilliant defensive play by George Kaub put the game on ice. Part of the nucleus which coach Blecke had to work with this year included Dave Burchardt, high scorer for the year, Kent Moldenhauer a driving lineman, and Rich Ralston, who was voted the most improved player.

Although this years 12 wins and eleven losses was not quite as impressive as last years record, the team demon- strated superior play in a number of games. For the 'first time our team was able to play on their home tioor. In spite of the fact that the team lost to Milwaukee in a game that marked the dedication of the gymnasium, they made up for it later. On January 30, before a record crowd of more than 1,000 people the Wildcats outplayed favorite St. Louis Lutheran and came out on top with a 47-42 score. This game was the first one played between the schools and was the highlight of the homecoming weekend. Another of l.uther's victories was the 66-33 win over Latin. This year all the individual honors went to one man. Of course, he was center Bob Roth who scored 315 points in 20 games for an average of almost 16 points per game. Second highest was Bill Schlegl with 174 points for the season. Honorary captain for the year and the most valu- able player award also went to Bob. Besides what has been previously mentioned both boys gained a place on the All-P.S.L. squad. Others who contribut- ed very much to the teams success were regulars Warren Wind, Hollis Duensing, Arvin Kruse, Don Lohrentz, and Dan Wallner. The teamwork dis- played by all these players was one of the impor- tant factors in the Wildcat's wins. A round of thanks should also go to the man- agers Dick and Bob Wetzel.

Their best game was played against a superior Wheaton team who beat them by a nar- row margin of only 2 points, 43-41. Other high- lights of the season were the two wins over our close rival Luther South. The leading scorer for the year was Richard Fick with an average of 12 points per game. Right be- hind him in scoring were three freshies, Art Grundke, George Kaub, and co-captain Art Filip, who will be a great asset to the team next year. Other people who played an important part in the games were Ed Krueger, co-captain Dave Burchardt, and two outstanding floor men, Derrell Norton and Ken Becker. Although this year did not produce a very impressive record, the return of some first- string players is sure to help next year's squad and make coach Blecke's team a real contender. 91015 - Aioflfi ' Mean am! cqffzncfanfs 77 'Y i M ME A .,. 152 Ei - ' '.,' , ,A at s,, gs ,,-QQ? w is 432' 'Sy x ,Ax QQ if X ij max, swim' ,.-.T.......?.. .V- WMM mfiourfesy of Mr. Hansen Q E X 11 ff 1 N1 3 2 6 ' Y. i .I-i2:II'E' M164 ii.

Surprisingly enough, only three of the veterans were seniors. The Wildcat infield consisted mainly of last year's regulars, with Warren Wind, Al Hauser, and Don Koetke holding down positions at third, shortstop and second base respectively. Art Filip filled in at short when Hauser toiled on the mound. First-sacker Bob Roth was the only regular rookie infielder. Patrolling the foul lines were Keith De Witt, another part-time pitcher, and Ron Rader. Filling the center field gap was either Don Lohrentz or Ralph Larson. Fourth year man and captain Joe Semmer, assisted by Dave Terwell, called the signs behind the plate for firemen Wally Pflug, Hauser, De Witt, and Paul Steinbach. With most of the team and many of the regulars eligible next year, Coach Menking, ably assisted by Mr. Blecke and Mr. Yursky, can look forward to suc- cessful years in the future.

Others who played a great part in the team's success were Charles Kokaska, high iump, and sprinter Eugene Porter and Dave Burchardt. The team participated in many track meets throughout the season.

Duensing introduced the use of several tilm slides which taught the boys correct strokes, serving, and court strategy. Co-captains of the team were Ron Heidorn and Ron Zimmer. Coach Duensing also interested many of the girls in the game of tennis which resulted in the formation of a girl's tennis club.
